On October 3, Joshua Duggar’s defense team filed an appeal brief in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.

Came across this. The points brought up are ridiculous.
1. Brief states that "Josh Duggar stated he wanted to call his attorney on his cellphone when DHS agents came to car lot, and DHS agents confiscated his phone, so he couldn't call his attorney. ".
I personally don't believe that Josh Duggar ever said that. And if he did, and his cellphone had been confiscated, I am sure that Josh Duggar could have used a landline, or borrowed a cellphone to call an attorney. I doubt he had his CSAM specialist attorney on speed dial. But, I could be wrong.
And even if he didn't have an opportunity to call his attorney, he didn't have to say a word. Most people are savvy enough to know that they are under no obligation to answer questions. Of course, maybe Josh Duggar doesn't know that, as his family never let him watch TV. Too bad.
2. The defense did not call Caleb Williams as a witness as the court did not allow him to testify.
There was no evidence that CW was at the car lot on the days in question. He no longer worked there. Or that he knew the password to Josh's computer.
3. That the data analysis used by the prosecution to pinpoint time and date Josh Duggar was at car lot at same time as the CSAM material was downloaded was flawed. And this evidence should be thrown out.
Sure....except Josh Duggar himself, sent his wife a text message, stating he was at car lot to show a car, at time the CSAM was downloaded.
Personally, I don't see a case here. Josh Duggar continues to double down that he is completely innocent of all charges. I don't believe that.
